1 INTRODUCTION by M. B. Dyck This article is a brief review in an outline format of The Paradigm, the best-selling book written by Johnathan Cahn. A paradigm is the revealing of a mystery, a blueprint, of an ancient paradigm in the Holy Bible that uncannily has everything to do with our modern times. This paradigm is a parallel story ongoing in our time! It is accurate to the actual years, months, weeks, days, and sometimes the very hour, thus the mystery. The biblical version of the first half of the paradigm is found in the Holy Bible in History repeats itself! This paradigm is complete from the beginning right up to the end of our current time in history. The ancient story has an ending that goes beyond where we are at right now. Perhaps it will show our future, perhaps not. There is no certainty as to when this paradigm will end. We shall just have to watch and see how things develop after this book ends. For all the exciting details you will want to purchase Johnathan Cahn's book. He also has a couple more books that go along with this topic. The Paradigm is available at Amazon and all the other great bookstores that are available to us around the world. His website is HopeOfTheWorld.org and Facebook: JonathanCahn and contact@hopeoftheworld.org In the beginning... King Ahab and Queen Jezebel vs President Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton. King Ahab was raised in the shadow of an ungodly father. Queen Jezebel was raised in a pagan culture that was hostile to God. Served Baal. President Bill Clinton was raised in a godly culture but he was ungodly, a Liberal. Hillary Clinton married Bill Clinton and was an ungodly Liberal who supported Bill Ahab and Bill were men divided. Their nation's cultures knew God, but both leaders were apostate. They were adept as leaders, tactical, strategic and calculated in their leading. They both appear men of weakness in morals and wills, vacillating from one emotion to another in an instant. BOTH were complicated men, self-contradictory, an enigma. They could show courage one moment and cowardice the next. They were concerned with luxuries, both prone to compromising. As they were, so were their nations. They led a political war, spiritual and cultural, against the nation's biblical faith and traditional values. Apostasy became state sponsored and immorality became the law of the land. Ahab sacrificed babies to Baal and Bill endorsed killing of babies through standardized abortion. Millions of babies died every year. Jezebel married Ahab. She brings with her Baal worship and evil activities, including witchcraft and immorality. She sees herself as an agent of enlightenment, bringing the liberalism of a new morality to her nation. She wars against traditional biblical values and seeks to overturn the deep-seated religions beliefs that still exist among many of her people. Feminism has always been a major part of her ethos and agenda. She craved political power and control. Ahab converted her agenda into national policy. Jezebel was the main one in her role as First Lady.

2 Hillary married Bill. In Arkansas she became the First Lady of the State. She represented cosmopolitan values in a conservative land. These perceptions followed her throughout her career. Such perceptions were part of the reason Bill was defeated after one term as Governor of Arkansas. She followed her career onto the national stage, from Governor's wife as first lady, senator and presidential candidate. Her corrupt ideas never changed. She refused to accept Bill's last name until his bid for re-election as Governor. She wanted to retain her native former identity. She had an aversion to accepting the standard functions of first lady and what many believed to be her disparagement of the role of wife. She did what she had to do for political purposes only. There was always a political mix in their marriage. Hillary followed the paradigm of Jezebel. She views religious conservative values stand in her way of HER agenda. She views them as restrictive and adversarial. BOTH seek to change their nations to their personal values! Hillary stated, Bill talked about social change, I embodied it! As it was with Jezebel, Hillary would never be fully trusted. BOTH were viewed as polarizing figures. Both warred against the living God. The implications were ominous. ALL FOUR LEADERS ABOVE will endorse a new value system that will embrace sexual immorality and the confusion of gender. They all seek to make people accept their views and celebrate it! THE NEMESIS: Ahab's nemesis was Ben-Hadad II; Bill's nemesis was Obama Bin Laden. BOTH: For both rulers there will be a man who will pose a threat and active danger to their generations they will be their nemesis, their archenemy. BOTH Ahab and Bill had assumed their roles less than one month apart. BOTH Ben-Hadad and Obama Bin Laden became their nations' archenemies. BOTH enemies came from the east and waged war against the nations of their hatred. BOTH were Semitic men and spoke the Semitic tongue. The nemesis for both rulers will continually plot, strategize and verbally threaten destruction against the lands they hate. They will not only threaten but will ACT. Ahab will have his nemesis in his hands and have a chance to stop him, but instead will let him go, hoping for the best. Bill had a chance to apprehend Obama Bin Laden, but he decided to let him go. In fact he had nine opportunities altogether to stop him, but let him go. Then the 9/11 attack on the twin towers took place. On November 27, 2001, the 9/11 panel was established to investigate events leading up to that attack. For Ahab his decision to let Ben-Hadad go brought calamity to his nation, one was an attack on Ahab's principle city. God's judgment for letting Ben-Hadad go. Ahab and Jezebel: Another event took place, a scandal. This tale is one of hidden sin, greed and

3 murder. All over a piece of land that he wanted and the owner, Naboth, refused to sell him the land. It was against the law for him to sell his inheritance. Naboth's name means A place of fruits. The land was a vineyard. Jezebel was involved in the whole evil affair. They murdered Naboth and seized his land for themselves. Bill and Hillary: Another terrible scandal took place. This tale also was hidden sin, greed, and murder. As with Ahab and Jezebel, it was all over a piece of land covered with forests. In July, 1993, Vince Foster, White House Counsel to Bill Clinton, ended up with Vince Foster being found dead in Fort Marcy Park, Va. It became known as the Whitewater scandal. He was Bill's attorney for years. His death was ruled a suicide, but it seemed very suspicious. Many believed it was murder. Foster handled the Whitewater papers until his death. Foster's name means, official in charge of forest. THE PROPHECY: Ahab's scandal exposure: Came 19 years after his accession to the throne in the Royal Palace, in January. Bill assumes office of Governor in In 1998 there was another scandal, the Monica Lewinsky affair. This took place in January, It was 19 years since his accession to the presidency in the White House. Exactly the same length of time from their beginning to rule up to a major scandal. It was also the same month, January. THE END: BOTH men were haunted by their scandals until the end of their reign. Ahab: From the moment of King's scandal to end of his reign was 3 years. Bill: From the scandal to the end of his reign was 3 years BOTH: They both reigned for a total of 22 years. (19+3) Same month, same week and to the exact number of days. THE DAY: Ahab's repentance to Elijah. Bill's repentance at White House Prayer Breakfast, in the East Room before 110 ministers. Ahab: 3 years of peace before judgment and end of reign, in the morning of January. Ahab died in a battle at Ramath-Gilead. Bill: 3 years of peace before judgment, in the morning of January. The event of 9/11. More dates and details are given in Johnathan Cahn's book, The Paradigm. Ahab From repentance: 3 years of peace before judgment, calamity falls in the morning, his death at the battle of Ramath-Gilead. Bill From repentance: 3 years before judgment hits. September 11, 2001, in the morning. (The times of the day were also accurate. More details can be found in Cahn's book.) Formula: 19 years + 3 years = 22 years of reigning before end of reign! It brought return of the nemesis for both men their enemies, Ben-Hadad and Osama Bin Laden. The scene now shifts to Jezebel and Hillary; the time is right after Ahab's death and the end of Bill's rule in the White House as President. Both women continue on after Ahab's death and the end of Bill's reign in the White House.

4 BOTH began a quest for power and overall control! BOTH: Dwell in a place of power; Jezebel in the Royal Palace and Hillary in the halls of power,in the house of Congress and will sit in its highest chambers. BOTH were prominent figures in their nation's governments and exerted influence on those in power. BOTH lived in the nation's capital cities. BOTH would reinvest themselves with parameters of a new position and a new political identity, independent from that of their husbands. BOTH became leaders in their own right. BOTH were strong liberals, adopting cosmopolitan morality and strongly opposed to traditional biblical morality. BOTH were the strongest supporters for those who practice and believe in killing babies; Jezebel sacrificed babies to Baal; Hillary supported aborting up to the ninth month, killing healthy babies who were ready to be born. Millions of babies are aborted in this manner every day. BOTH are loved by some, hated by others. BOTH have faithful followers and passionate enemies. BOTH maintain their beliefs to the end of their reigns. Jezebel had a new role and a new position of power. Began at end of Ahab's 22 years of reigning and death. Hillary also began several new roles after Bill's 22 years of reigning and the end of his presidential term. Hillary ran for the presidency January 20. That date ended Bill's reign and now is the date for her next endeavor. Jezebel During the reign of two kings, she NEVER could take the power of her nation. Hillary She ran for president and failed. She could not become the president of the nation. BOTH Their thrones went to another man. JORAM AND OBAMA: Joram was the son of Ahab and Jezebel, the heir to the throne. He followed the ways of Ahab and Jezebel both politically, culturally and ideologically. Obama won the election, a man of a younger generation. Politically, culturally, and ideologically he was the heir to the White House. He began his reign in He took up the ways of Bill Clinton; he wanted to complete what Bill had started. BOTH show some piety and observance but by their actions and inaction led their nations in defiance of God. BOTH will continue following previous policies of altering the standards and measures of morality.

5 They will be agents for weakening of absolutes and overturning biblical values. They will continue in current policies concerning sexual morality and the confusion of gender. They will continue sacrificing children and killing children through abortion throughout the whole land. They will serve as another link in the chain of the nation's apostasy from God. All will be further alienated from the biblical foundation on which their nations were originally founded. THE HOSTILE KINGDOM: BOTH JORAM AND OBAMA: As apostasy continues, culture will accept what is known to be wrong, even knowing the Word of God they have declared it to be sin. They will celebrate and hallow it. The repercussions of it is replaying in modern times. Many examples of this are found in both cultures. HEIR AND THE QUEEN: Joram did not rule alone. Jezebel influenced him in his evil activities. Jezebel was Joram's shadow partner. Obama did not rule alone. Hillary returned to the White House as an active agent in the new president's administration, influencing his decisions. The combination of Hillary and Obama was an unlikely duo and unprecedented. However, Hillary was confined by her position as a cabinet member to dwell in the current leader's shadow. THE ASSASSIN: Ben-Hadad had done more than threaten Israel. He brought tragedy to its borders, national calamity, invasion and siege of its chief city. He was a continual threat. The king had let him go. Ben-Hadad outlasted Ahab. A new figure enters the scene, Hazael, a member of Ben-Had's inner court. He will be king of Syria in place of Ben-Hadad. After Elisha told him he was to be the new king of Syria, on the very next day Hazael murdered Ben-Hadad in his bed. The nation's nemesis was dead. He died just 10 years after Ahab died. It was 13 years after the scandal was exposed. Bill's Nemesis was Osama Bin Laden. He was a threat to America. He was behind the 9/11/2001 tragedy in America. This happened 3 years to the day after Bill's confession. America hunted him down by secret us intelligence. He avoided capture for a long time. He avoided use of a cell phone and the internet. He hid in open in Pakistan. Helicopters headed for Pakistan just past midnight and shot and killed Osama Bin Laden in his bedroom. His death was just 10 years after the end of Bill's presidency ended. It was 13 years after the scandal had been exposed. Many more details available in The Paradigm by Jonathan Cahn. WAR OF THRONES: Joram had a divided nation, good vs evil. Obama had a divided nation, good vs evil. BOTH: Evil was the strongest during their reigns. End of their reigns things looked hopeless for believers. At the end of both reigns, events will coalesce to bring about a dramatic clash of forces, directions, world views, agendas, cultures and values. A strong evil influence will be in effect at the end of their reigns. END OF OBAMA'S AND JORAM'S REIGN: - Will not see a friendly transition to a successor to continue his agenda, but a hostile transition to a successor who will have risen up against his agenda to overturn it. The heirs will be followed on the throne by one not belonging to the Royal Palace (White House), but by one who has never governed.

6 WARRIORS: Jehu and Trump BOTH began rise to power and both had no political experience. BOTH rise suddenly, taking their leaders by surprise. BOTH were controversial figures. Act as destabilizing agents. Will appear to threaten the nation's status quo. Coming from outside of the realm of politics and government, the national stage, as outsiders. Not gentle or a diplomat. They will be rough and course. Communication often blunt, abrasive, and their temperament, turbulent. Before their time of rising will already be known as leaders but of a nonpolitical and nongovernmental realm. They will be warriors, fighters, men of battles, confrontational, contentious, and combative, at times even brutal. Will speak of life in terms of battle, winning and losing, victory or defeat. Dedicated to success, conquest and triumph. Past will not have exemplified the qualities one would have expected of a godly man. Given to boastfulness and self-promotion. Ruthless when dealing with enemies and will not be averse to using deception to outsmart them. Will speak of God and zeal to accomplish the will of God, will at times heed the words of godly counsel. Temperament will play a part in the rise to power. Will show great tenacity, determination, boldness, and daring. Will exude confidence, being fully assured of their victory and their ability to govern. Despite lack of experience, will be skilled in setting massive events in motion. Will shake the status quo, upend convention, and defy analysis. Will break down and overthrow nation's political realm and its status quo into a state of chaos. There will be a higher purpose in play. Rising will take place at the same moment the nation's apostasy appears to be on the verge of being sealed into permanency and threatens to eradicate the ways of God. Will become an instrument to hold back the day of that sealing. Will be a sword to bring judgment, a plow to overturn and bring upheaval, and a hammer to smash apart. Warriors will be anointed to succeed the heir as king (president) over the land. Will be anointed to contend against the former rulers and their agenda. FINAL RACE: - This will be a race between evil, Jezebel and Hillary, and good, Jehu and Trump. Rise of warriors results in the downfall of Jezebel and Hillary. Jehu and Trump win to rule their nations. Both prepared themselves for a great victory. Both softened their judgment at their downfall. Both dramatically cast down at fall. The heir, the third king of the paradigm will be on national stage for twelve years. Will this hold true for Trump? That is still future. Will the paradigm continue? We shall have to wait and see. THE HOLY MAN: Jehonadab and Mike Pence

7 Jehonadab: A mysterious figure Jehu encountered on the way to the capital city. He represented a specific portion of the nation's population, the Rachabites, and those associated with them. They represented the conservative defenders of Israelite traditions, which were also represented by Elisha. They were named for Rechab, Jehonadab's father. He was the leader of he Conservatives of their time. He rode the chariot with Jehonadab during the political race. Mike Pence: In the days of the warrior's rise, in the midst of apostasy, there will be a portion of the nation's population who will resist the moral and spiritual decay taking place around them and will seek to hold faithful to God's Word, the religious Conservatives. The warrior will be used as an instrument to stop or slow the nation's decent. They will see in him the only alternative to the future of progressing apostasy and godlessness. Mike Pence has a reputation for piety and holiness. BOTH asked their holy men to ride with them in their race to the throne. WARRIOR KINGS: Having won their races BOTH return to the capital to begin their rule. BOTH: Enter mostly hostile territory. Go there to bring shaking. Will enter the nation's capital with an agenda to purge the nation's leadership of corruption. Will seek to remove from government those who stand against the ways of God. Will go to the capital city with a specific mission to drain the swamp. Come as an agent of judgment and hope; judgment to the establishment and to the forces who are at war against the ways of God, and hope to those upholding the ways of God. On ascent to the throne nations will be polarized into two camps. Warriors will be on God's side. Opposing camp will produce dread, resentment, hostility, and anger. Those engaged in the presence of witchcraft will see themselves at war with new ruler. Most radical enemies will be found among the supporters of the Liberals and the priests and priestesses of the pagan gods. Warriors will remain a figure of controversy and an enigma. Their natures will remain contentious and their ways will be questionable. The question will also remain whether someone of a less radical nature or combative nature, would have accomplished what was called for in view of the radical nature of the times. Despite their ways it will be through the warriors that the sealing course to apostasy will be averted. At least for a time, the war against God's ways as waged by the ruling houses will be checked. The killing of the nation's children will no longer be championed from the throne, but opposed by it. The nation's accelerating apostasy will be slowed. The highest leader of the land will no longer sanction the persecution of God's people but will seek to defend them. SUMMARY: Jehu walked in a path of compromise. Apostasy was slowed but not reversed. Short-term danger was averted.

8 Long-term danger was not. - Nation did not return to God Trump Will continue to be an enigma. Promised to do the will of God, but there is concern that his reformation would be inconsistent. Trump appears to be strong on some issues, but concerning the ways of God, weak on others. Warriors championing the cause of nationalism will at times compete with his intentions to carry out God's will. Trump's cause for nationalism could be consistent with scriptures, but not always. This would at times compete with his ability to fulfill the will of God. *The hope is for the days that will not only slow down the nation's descent but also provide the chance for a massive spiritual and cultural returning to God. Apart from such a return the nation's overall course of apostasy and descent will continue. The weight and inertia of America's moral and spiritual descent would mean that for such a return to take place would be nothing short of miraculous, possible from God's point of view, but apart from such a return, there would be nothing but descent. Trump does not have to follow the ancient paradigm. He could change it! Hillary Could Hillary run again? Not according to the paradigm. She is finished. However, anything is possible. The paradigm may be finished. Could America witness a massive spiritual awakening? That, too, is possible. If a nation turns around to follow God, God gives that nation a reprieve. A short reprieve may come for some just before the great judgment of God on the nations. In Jehu's case it did not happen. His people never turned back to God. When judgment comes that nation or nations will be wiped off the face of the earth. We are living in biblical end times and anything can happen; we need to make sure our hearts are right before God before it is too late.
